TwanHaazen Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Hey all, I'm having problems with my Corsair Survivor USB3.0 16Gb flash drive. For some reason it only achieves USB 1.1 speeds on Mac OSX, but it works fine on for instance Windows 7 (around 20 MB/s write speeds). I formatted the drive as FAT32 and HFS+ and in both cases I'm achieving only about 1 Mb/s read and write speeds. Does anybody have a solution for this problem? Any help will be appreciated. I have a Macbook Pro mid-2010 and I'm running Mountain Lion (10.8.2). Thanks in advance, Twan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 What program did you use to benchmark the USB drive on Windows 7? Disk Speed Test uses incompressible data to benchmark the drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwanHaazen Posted December 11, 2012 Author Share Posted December 11, 2012 I didn't use an actual benchmark, but transferring a 1GB file(movie) to the USB, took about a minute. I tested it yesterday on a normal Macbook from 2008, and transfer speeds were normal. A 2gb file took about 2 minutes. And afterwards on a Macbook Pro late 2011 (USB 2.0 port), and the transfer speeds were the same as with mine, also terribly slow. When I check the system report on my mac, it shows that the USB drive's speed is up to 12 Mbit/sec, so USB 1.1. (see attached file) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 18, 2012 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 18, 2012 I am sorry as we do not do any performance testing on MAC so I do not have anything to compare it to. However if I understood your post correctly you stated it performs correctly on a Windows system, is that correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
